Look where New Hampton School is and look at where we are going!
As we enter the fall semester with a strong sense of excitement toward the future of New Hampton, I write to tell how far New Hampton School has come since I accepted the position as Global Curriculum Coordinator began work in July, 2008.
The heart of my new position, as outlined to community members in the Strategic Plan, is to ensure a learning environment that fully prepares every student for the challenges and opportunities he or she will face in the global society in which we live. I am excited to work closely with the Director of Studies, department heads and dedicated faculty to help New Hampton reach our shared vision of a more globally relevant curriculum.
While we are deeply committed to deliver fundamental skills, we are working to grow our curriculum to include new opportunities for our present and future students. These opportunities include exchange programs with places such as China, India and Latin America. We are an International Baccalaureate candidate school with eleven of our teachers already trained to teach in the I.B. Diploma Program. Also I am pleased to say that we will be working with our students to foster an understanding of global responsibilities as they enter the twenty-first century world beyond New Hampton.
After teaching internationally for six years, three in Europe and three in Latin America, in many ways what I have been doing personally and professionally have prepared me for my new position at New Hampton. During my time abroad I was introduced to the International Baccalaureate program as well as the benefits an international perspective can give to students and staff. Now being an experienced I.B. teacher, I am excited to bring these learning opportunities to our school.
I look toward the start of the academic year here with a sense of vision, purpose, and pride. Know that your comments regarding curriculum are welcome and I can be reached at the contact information below.
Sincerely,
Dan Love
